OlderBrad & Angelina Press Conference
Swakopmund, Namibia :: Angelina and Brad Pitt confirmed Wednesday that their newly-born daughter Shiloh Nouvel will have a Namibian passport.
"Shiloh will receive a Nambian passport, so we shall return," Pitt said at the couple’s first public appearance since the May 27 birth.
The Hollywood glamour pair spoke to local journalists at a press briefing at the four-star Hansa Hotel in Swakopmund at the edge of the Namib desert where Jolie gave birth by Caesarian Section.
"We couldn’t have picked a better place to have our child," said Jolie, looking healthy and relaxed in a black dress. Pitt agreed: "We are very proud that our daughter was born here".

Pitt said the couple had "done their homework" before deciding on Namibia as the birthplace of their first biological and third child.
"The health of our daughter and Angie’s was imperative. We’ve had absolute top-notch medical assistance," Pitt said.
The couple reiterated their gratitude to the people of the sparsely populated country, which has come under intense media interest since their arrival two-and-a-half months ago.
"We are eternally grateful to the Namibian people," Pitt said. "Namibia is one of Africa’s best kept secrets - until we came of course."
The couple had been "afforded a lifestyle here we could not have anywhere else" and that Namibia has been "a wonderful place to be with our kids."
The couple said they planned to remain in the country for just a few more days before returning to the United States. "Just a few more days. My mother is dying to see the baby," Jolie said.
On the tight security around the couple, Jolie said they had wished this had not been necessary but felt "the birth should be done in a way that was peaceful."
Pitt explained that having "a child with a bounty on its head" before its birth, had brought about the need for bodyguards to shield the family.
On future career plans, Pitt said he would begin work on the latest in the Ocean movie series in August while Jolie planned to concentrate on the needs of her three children - the newborn and four-year-old Maddox and one-year-old Zahara.
The couple were accompanied by Namibian first lady Penehupifo Pohamba (pictured above) regional governor Samuel Nuujoma and Child Welfare Minister Marlene Mungunda as they spoke to journalists for about 30 minutes, posed for photographs and signed autographs.
A day after their daughter was born, the couple announced they would provide 300,000 dollars for the refurbishment of hospitals in Namibia. Jolie, a United Nations goodwill ambassador, discovered Namibia some years ago while filming a movie there. [AP]

OMG….(((SWOON))) - now you guys have me wanting to see the look BRAD is giving ANGIE– I wonder if it’s on Youtube yet - anyone check??
# 267 | Roberta ———————–THAT is not the only meaning of the name…IN FACT is not even exact because it means that only by association and the gossip rags and gossip blogs and gossip in general have made it to be THE only meaning…who’s stupid now?? not BAMZS….is YOU ROBERTA for believing everything you read on the rags. Poor poor you!
THIS COUPLE IS MARRIED. HERE IS YOUR PROOF: look at the picture where angie is signing authographs. Now look at the picture with B&A with baby Shiloh, brad is sporting a ring too. They have been wearing these rings since France. We all know brad is not the type to live a common law relationship and have children with them…. he is the all american guy remember. Angie is very sure that they will be together. Something here is fishy and we all choose to ignore it.
BAMZS Fans, Off topic. Sitting at home reading a book and there is a character name in the book…RICA. And guess what she does…tells stories. Coincidence or what? Wonder if they know our RICA????Hmmmmmm………………………………….. Back to my book. BAMZS Rock!Love Angie in the dress
#274Are you having a bad day??? She’s actually giving you the LINK to where you can see ALL of ANGELINA’S TATTOOS…NOT CORRECTING your spelling….eerrr…yep, *blush* *blush*….No, I’m not have a particularly bad day…I just didn’t know it was a link. I’ve seen many links posted here, just not that way. I’m a long time reader, fairly new poster. I do better with web addresses I guess. I still don’t know if the TATTOO showing in this mornings pictures is a new one. It looks real fresh. It’s visable in the middle picture of the bottom row.
#267 | RobertaLet me get this straight. They are not allowed to name their baby Christine, Christina, Christian or Chris because that would denote the ‘Christ’ child. They are not allowed to name their child Jesus, because they would be invoking his name in vain. They are not allowed to name their child Mary, Marie or Maria for the holy mother. Gosh darnit! They slipped and named her Shiloh! Somebody should have told them it was blasphemy!
jpf…yeah totally! i think thats why i like ricas fanfics, and why they are really popular, they are perfect, you can see it happening, i too believe they are extremely close behind closed doors. i too had a relatonship that started off like theres, a work thing and we were very close friends for ages and then one thing fell into place, and we were together, it kinda happened! just how it should, you grow together.
# 273 | stef |- brads bum was worth every penny i paid to get this!————————————————–ITA, every penny and more lol. I just love every part of the unrated DVD.
Sorry Gwen - Angie wins hands down for post-partum BEEEYOOTY!! Muahahaha. Nice try though. http://people.aol.com/people/galleries/0,19884,1201252_3,00.html
# 255 | windy2uwhat? I was giving you the link like #274|**me** stated. My post #247 says LOL so what.. we incorrectly type some words from now and then. BTW did you get what you were looking for?*we as in I and some other people that get caught up w/ so much excitement or what not misspell words and I agree i misspelled the word ok.# 285 | windy2u ic ok so everything is cool now? hopefully lol. I don’t think the link that I provided you is updated yet.
# 267 | Roberta | Yeah, my mom’s name means moon goddess, I guess that means my grandparents were, conceited, sacrilegious egomaniacs. Those terrible people!! They should have never named their child Cynthia!Stop your petty bitchiness. There are other meanings for this name, as you well know, than the one you have conveniently chosen to be offended by. BTW, my neighbor is a legal Mexican immigrant. You may want to sit down for this shocker: his name is JESUS!!!!!!!!!
# 281 | CLINIQUA | - Me too lol, sometime it sucks when you are at work and you can see certain things until you get home
Roberta, the name means "Gift" and "Peaceful"Suri has been found in another language to mean "Pickpocket" but we all know the meaning that Tom Cruise had in mind was "Princess". I worry more about the hatred behind your writing than the meaning you are trying to bring forth. May the good Lord help us all from this type of hatred.
anon85…thanks im on it now!!!most of the m are on the dvdso im going to sift through them!
..and one MORE reason why Brad’s mind is blowed:Do you know what a FRIGGIN’ refreshing CHANGE it must be for him to be with someone who is NOT phluckin’ ILLITERATE??!! Seriously, who doesn’t give stuttering monosyllabic terse answers, and worse still, look scared or mad or WARY as bejesus at the question?!! A woman who isn’t in the habit of making people comatose when she talks - because she’s so self-conscious of everything she does and says that what she does say is LAME and as DULL as a conversation w/ a doorknob??WHAT, a change - no wonder he looks at her with sheer fascination and hunger all the time. LMAO!
I almost forgot…CANADIAN FANSHELLO Magazine is available at any Indigo, Chapters or Coles Bookstore and it goes for $6.50 regularly. I’m not sure if all the small branches carry it…some do…but the big branches with the coffee shops inside for sure do…you can find it in the magazine section.
#CLINIQUA,I agree.I wish she would layoff the red lipstick sometimes.
# 236 | stef -Thanks for the offer, you are awesome, I will e-mail you later. Ok can you scan the pic on Hello mag. for us, we can not get the magazine here in the states…:))))…if it’s not too much trouble…I’m sure by then JJ will not be in any trouble posting them….we are on trolls patrol today…as usual.
DAMN…SORRY…I don’t mean the Shiloh issue is out…I’m just letting you know that you can buy it here. I expecting the new issue will be in stores this coming monday.
i will have to magazine tomorrow! so if anyone wants me to scan and send them the pictures so you dont have to wait, just tell me or email me on (my non personal email) haveitonaplate@yahoo.co.ukits not a problem.
Jared, Jared, Jared…you just keep spoiling us. Thanks for doing such a great job posting the latest photos of Brad, Angie & the kids. You’re the best!!!!
Angelina is stunning. Brad must be so proud.Health and happiness to the Jolie-Pitts.
# 267 | Roberta LMAO. Roberta you are so funny. Stupid but still funny. Aahhh just what I need after a long day, a good laugh. :DSo anyways, I see the haters are out to play. Nothing new there. Angie looks hot. Plenty of hollywood moms show off their cleavage after the delivery. Nothing new there either. About Brad being whipped….all husbands are whipped. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. So are they not going to Paris first? Well the good thing is that Angie’s mom will get to see the baby soon and Maddox and Zahara too. Lainey seems to be in a bitchy mood. She will get over it. She always does.
New Zealand Herald has a somewhat different take - and MORE accurate on the edding/ceremony stuff…we here in the states, always seem to need our reports and news stories to be black or white — there are no shades of gray to a lot of coverage - they try to be more sensational and to sell more I guess - while in other countries, you tend to get the nuances, and thus the REAL deal, IMO…NZ put it like this:Asked if they planned to marry soon, the couple gave no direct answer, but said that for now Pitt would focus on work while Jolie looked after Shiloh and adopted children Maddox and Zahara.You see how they point out that Brad & Angelina, did NOT give a DIRECT ANSWER — there’s YOUR PROOF ‘Marriage train’ passengers! (Of which I am one - proudly!) LOL!!
# 294 | CLINIQUA | LOL omg, you have gotten my sides to hurting I am laughing so hard. But you are right.. he must be in bliss now. I think that was one of the attractions to GP, she was articulate and self assured. very attractive characteristics. Poor Brad, he got hurt by Gwyn so what did he look for? the anti-Gwyn. Understandable after what he had been through to think he should go in the opposite direction personality and intellectwise. Unfortunately he had to pay for that mistake for nearly 7 years. | Well, karma has rewarded him for that lapse in judgement. He has the whole package in Angie.
